X-Ray

Single Crystal Diffractometers; are two IPDS2 equipped with Mo radiation and one IPDS2T equipped with microfocus Cu radiation, all machines are equipped with cryostats (100-500 K). The application field of the IPDS2T and IPDS2 is very large from organic molecules to inorganic and organometallic compounds. The single crystal service carries out measurement and full crystal structure determination.

Ready to publish CIF-files are provided and deposition to the CCDC is done on demand.

People who want to have access to one of the instruments have to contact the Dr. Aurélien Crochet in order to discuss about their needs.

Powder Diffractometer; is a STADIP combined a focus Cu Ka1 incident beam from a germanium monochromator with Mythen1K detector (CCD) and exchangeable sample holders. The instrument is by default equipped of the transmission sample holder, but reflection measurements are also possible as well HT-measurement in transmission mode. The utilization of capillary allows the measurement of air- and moisture-sensitive samples as well as microsamples.

The versatility of this machine allowed wide analysis field for single or multi-phase materials, such as organic and metal organic compounds.

Users wanting to measure on their own are trained on machine upon request and can afterwards reserve the instrument. For people not wanting to measure independently, as well as special setups, assistance is provided on request.
